Battle of Hong Ngu

The Battle of Hong Ngu was a battle of the Vietnam War which occurred from March to 4 May 1973. Hoping to prevent South Vietnamese aid convoys from reaching the Khmer Republic in Cambodia, the NVA launched an operation to cut off the supply routes. 3 NVA regiments assaulted Hong Ngu, an ARVN border base, but, in April, a costly ARVN counterattack cleared the area between Hong Ngu and the Cambodian border. In the end, the NVA suffered 422 men killed in action, while the ARVN lost 94 killed in action, 36 missing, and 300 civilians dead.
